Vince Wilfork feels that there's some hypocrisy contained within the NFL's rulebook.

Speaking at the New England Patriots' Hall Speaker Series Monday evening, the defensive lineman said that he would do some heavy editing to the rules protecting quarterbacks if given the opportunity to change one thing about the league.

"One thing I’d get rid of is the penalties, certain penalties,” Wilfork said, according to the Boston Herald. “I can do without them. You have a guy that’s making $30 million a year, but you can’t touch him. Come on, let’s be for real now. Me as a defensive lineman, it’s OK for somebody to hold me up, and another guy to come and chop my legs, and I can’t protect myself. I can do without that. That’s probably the main thing. Being able to hit a quarterback good. We need that. We need that back right there.

"But you hurt the franchise of your team if you’re allowed to tee off on the quarterback. Because you know, quarterbacks are wimpy," Wilfork added as a joke.

Wilfork was also asked which quarterback he would start if he were New York Jets coach Rex Ryan. He went with Tim Tebow over Mark Sanchez.

"He’s a winner. He’s proven,” Wilfork said. “I mean, I’ll tell you what, both have positives and negatives. You really can’t go wrong. I’m glad I’m not in that boat. Put it like that.”
